That's a stupid excuse to not make a video game. The people who make Pokemon games are financially stable enough to make a game like this. With enough time something like this should very much be created.

Skyrim has numerous models. I don't know about 700, but its a lot. And the world is defiantly just as big as Kanto if not bigger. and they could just remake the old games to start with, so they would only need 150-151 models at first

actaully you think so but know if you break down basic strucutre of many creatue of pokemnon many have simlair or same shape in body skeltont wise so while it owld take osme time not as much as people would think it does maybe get each one own aniamtion going sure form starting of pint then no but polishing thme yes two diffrent things

Just curious but have you ever looked at Fallout/Skyrim basically any bethesda game's construction kit (or geck for fallout)? Its pretty amazing just how little is actually there and how much they can do with it. Never heard of far cry, don't know who made it so I can't really say anything about it but if its by bethesda I'd assume it falls under the same as fallout/etc.

well i know they have a lot of money but really,
you know mass effect? think how many unique moving models that game uses, the main characters that move are all human based shapes and from watching the how they made it dvd they said that adding even 1 more non human shaped model with animations would take so much time and money it was not worth it...

Assuming Nintendo made this game, 700 models are no big deal. Models aren't the problem in games, it's the amount of polygons per creature, and the space their textures take up. Assuming quality of pokemon similar to the one in the picture there, even a mobile game could handle a simple battle simulation of that quality, and a full console based AAA game title could easily incorporate the entire pokemon universe.

nope, each model requires work, for animation, modeling plus alot of stuff, and that image over there are prerendered making something of that quality would take a ton of requirements and prob the consoles wouldnt even run it

Render each race/class/magic ability/shout/facial feature of skyrim.... It wouldn't be that difficult and they're fully capable of doing it. You're acting like if they were to do it they'd release it in a year -_-.

i see what you mean but for each pokemon to be programmed they would need very little coding, just animations, model, texture and all the different attacks...
that would still take a really really long time to do well and after that you have to make the whole game world, the trainers, the cities...

It's completely possible Ni No Kuni plays similar to what you could expect this to play like and it has somewhere around 250 unique monsters with animations and all that jazz.... this really wouldn't be as hard for nintentdo to make as you think it would be... not to mention its nintendo they have more than enough money to throw at it
